Penn State Songs: Alma Mater

For the glory of Old State,
   For her founders strong and great,
For the future that we wait,
   Raise the song, raise the song.

Sing our love and loyalty,
   Sing our hopes that bright and free
Rest, O mother dear, with thee,
   All with thee, all with thee.

When we stood at childhood’s gate,
   Shapeless in the hands of fate,
Thou didst mold us, dear old State,
   Dear old State, dear old State.

May no act of ours bring shame,
   To one heart that loves thy name.
May our lives but swell thy fame,
   Dear old State, dear old State.
